undefined reference to WinMain

How to fix it?
Say pls

I have no idea what you're talking about, there's no WinMain in my code

its error

and this code not working(

The code is correct, you have something broken in the rest of your program. Try asking on https://stackoverflow.com/

alredy

are you using linux?

Please stop posting to this gist, it is NOT related to the error you're getting and I don't have the time or the will to troubleshoot your program. StackOverflow is the place to get help.

Eugenetucha are you assuming this snippet is a standalone program? You need to provide your own main() or WinMain() that uses it, or compile it as library or linkable object.

how to convet a double to UTF-8 bytes?

@wangjunfeng90214 what do you mean by double?

@MightyPork just wanted to say thanks, due to this i dont have to rely on the icu library! <3
